Kuomintang Islamic Insurgency
From Heterodontosaurus Balls
The Kuomintang Islamic Insurgency were the last standing forces of the Chinese Nationalist Party in mainland
China during the
Chinese Civil War
. They were mostly descended from the warlords of the
Ma Clique, which were
Muslim Chinese. These forces held out until 1958, long after the Civil War “ended”. Despite the establishment of the
People's Republic of China in 1949, these resilient insurgents continued their resistance in the remote regions of
Qinghai and
Gansu provinces. Their struggle was characterized by guerrilla warfare tactics, leveraging the difficult terrain and their deep-rooted local connections to sustain their efforts against the
People's Liberation Army.
